Therapeutic Injections
Medical Botox®
At Ostara Medical Aesthetics and Wellness, we offer therapeutic neuromodulator treatments to address a variety of medical conditions and enhance your overall well-being. Neuromodulators, such as botulinum toxin type A, work by relaxing targeted muscles to alleviate symptoms associated with certain conditions.
Conditions we treat
- Chronic Migraines: Reduces the frequency and severity of migraine episodes.
- Bruxism (Teeth Grinding)/Jaw pain (TMJ): Relieves jaw tension and pain by relaxing overactive jaw muscles.
- Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating): Decreases excessive sweating in areas such as the underarms, hands, or feet.
- Shoulder tension: Relieves chronic shoulder tension and discomfort, enhances aesthetic shoulder contour, and potentially relieves tension-related headaches.
How it works
Neuromodulator injections target specific muscles temporarily blocking nerve signals that cause overactivity. Treatments are minimally invasive, quick, and performed in our clinic by trained and certified professionals

Frequently Asked Questions
What are therapeutic neuromodulator injections?
The injections use the same botulinum toxin formulations as aesthetic treatments but target specific medical conditions. These treatments temporarily relax overactive muscles or reduce nerve activity to provide relief from pain, discomfort, or excessive muscle activity.
How long do therapeutic neuromodulators last?
The effects typically last 3-6 months, depending on the condition being treated and individual response. Follow-up treatments are usually recommended to maintain results.
What is the treatment process like?
The treatment involves small injections directly into the targeted muscles or glands. The procedure is quick, often taking 15-30 minutes, and requires little to no downtime.
Does the procedure hurt?
Most clients find the injections minimally painful, often describing them as a small pinch.
When will I see results?
Results typically begin to appear within a few days to two weeks, depending on the condition treated. Relief from symptoms often improves over time as the muscles relax or nerve activity decreases.
Are therapeutic neuromodulators safe?
Yes, therapeutic neuromodulators are Health Canada approved for several medical conditions and have been safely used for decades. Side effects are minimal when the treatment is administered by a trained and experienced professional.
Who is a good candidate for therapeutic neuromodulators?
You may be a good candidate if you experience chronic migraines, muscle spasms, excessive sweating, or other conditions that respond to neuromodulator therapy. During your consultation, we’ll review your medical history and symptoms to determine if this treatment is appropriate for you.
Can therapeutic and cosmetic neuromodulator treatments be combined?
Yes! Therapeutic and cosmetic neuromodulator treatments can often be combined to address both medical concerns and aesthetic goals in a single session.
Will my insurance cover therapeutic neuromodulator injections?
In some cases, therapeutic neuromodulator injections may be covered by insurance when used to treat specific medical conditions like chronic migraines or hyperhidrosis. We recommend checking with your provider to understand your coverage.
